SUMMARY:Credit for small businesses
DESCRIPTION:About the event\n\n\n\nHow’s your credit and do you understand how it could impact seeing your dream come alive? \nYour credit report serves as your financial reference to companies and lenders and can have a significant impact on the options you have when seeking funding for your business. When you apply for business credit\, your personal credit will be a major factor into whether you will receive credit and how much you’ll pay for it. \nIn this workshop we’ll explore the dynamics of credit including credit reporting\, personal & business creditworthiness\, how credit reporting works\, the benefits to small business in credit reporting\, the risks from credit scams and\, strategies to build or improve your credit! \nJoin us to learn more about one of the most important areas in seeing your dream of starting a business come alive. \nPresented By: Brendan O’Meara\, Chief Credit Officer of Scale Bank \nAbout Brendan – Locally Grown! \nI have done many things in my career\, from biochemistry to accounting and IT project management. In many ways\, the jobs that provided me with the most satisfaction were in construction\, because I could see the fruits of my labor at the end of every day. Nothing makes you feel better than to stand up at the end of a long day\, covered in dirt and sweat and dust\, looking over a completed project and knowing that you had a hand in building it. \nIn a similar way\, that is what I love most about community banking. I get a chance to see and feel a connection to the “real world”. I can provide guidance and funding to help a small business prosper. That successful business will help to serve as the foundation for the American economy. Perhaps more importantly\, it might put food on the table for the families who live in my community or it might create a family legacy when it is passed down from grandparents to grandchildren. As a community banker\, I can help my friends and neighbors build small businesses that are locally grown. \nLink to register: https://www.score.org/twincities/event/credit-small-business-15

SUMMARY:SCORE: Growing your Business through Public Speaking
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 5\, 2025 (Online Webinar)\nTime: 12:00 – 1:30 p.m. CDT\nSCORE: Growing your Business through Public Speaking\nDescription: Instead of spending hours on individual Discovery calls or attending networking groups\, you can reach multiple audiences one speech at a time as a public speaker. Yet\, creating a new speech every time you speak is only going to confuse your potential clients (and destroy your invitations to additional speaking opportunities). Enter the signature story. Having a signature story is the key to showing up as a thought leader with a consistent message. A single 60 minute speech shows that you have a dedicated mission to share with audiences and increase your chances of referrals. Plus\, once you have the speech mapped out\, you can easily apply and pitch for future speaking opportunities as a paid expert! The clearer you are in your talk- the more opportunities you have to grow both your platform and profits. In the Growing your Business through Public Speaking masterclass\, ICF certified speaker coach Jenn will walk you through: \n\nHow to narrow down your speaking topic\nCreating a title that pops!\nIdentifying the description\, audience takeaways\, and call to action aka Speakerkit\nCreating a short and long bio that establishes your expertise in a fun way\nLocation: Online\nCost: FREE\nQuestions contact: SCORE\, twincities@scorevolunteer.org 952-938-4570 Register: https://www.sba.gov/event/71909
